Who is the NeverTrumper to whom you are referring?
Greenfield for openers.
Here is the bottom line on Higgins and Greenfield.
#1: Higgins was ordered by McMaster to not violate the chain of command. Higgins purposefully did. On the battlefield, refusing an order can mean death. Here, Higgins punishment will be a $500K job on K Street.
#2: Greenfield is the classic example of the “new journalist.” He was 50 column inches to fill every day. Facts or no facts, story or no story, he fills them. He has developed a following that grows increasingly angry with every piece he writes, and the keep following him, facts or no facts, so the site gets its ad clicks.
#3: There is as much Fake News on the Right as on the Left. Study McMaster’s real history; 73 Easting and “Dereliction of Duty,” and you will understand how perfect he for the NSA job. Don’t suckered in by a Greenfield trying to become taller by chopping the legs off a giant.
